Construction is dangerous. Over a 45 year career, 1 in 200 are killed. One in ten are injured each year, costing the industry more than $11B. Companies now dedicate teams to safety because it's so important. However, most cobble together processes on paper and spreadsheets. Even with so much at stake, other construction software players only address small pieces of the safety practice.Led by construction & technology veterans, eMOD unites stakeholders and processes in a web & mobile software platform. By tracking every worker, eMOD delivers custom training and ensures up-to-date OSHA compliance. Our mobile app digitizes activities like daily safety plans and inspections to efficiently gather every task, hazard, tool, safe plan, observation, and incident to create instant transparency. Using the cumulative data to generate workflows, notifications, and a set of leading indicators, eMOD creates greater accountability and closes the loop with targeted training for where teams are coming up short.

Group of technologists opining on the value and implementation of tech. I love to employ tech to help companies and people tackle some of their biggest challenges, so this is right up my alley.

I'm the CEO among a very strong team of co-founders at Brixmark.Brixmark facilitates communication with tools that enable wineries and grape growers to better manage, share, and analyze the information essential to their relationships, contracts, and the grapes at the center of their transaction. Brixmark’s Harvest Dashboard helps winemakers and grape growers securely enter, exchange, track, and compare harvest sample data (Brix, pH, TA, etc.) across vineyards, blocks, and vintages. With features such as charts, data upload/download, daily digests, and customizable email alerts, the Brixmark Harvest Dashboard enables business partners to share and combine their data instantly for more improved and efficient analysis. In 2012 we decided to end the Brixmark endeavor. We received requests from several of our customers to continue the service, and we're doing so on a limited basis as a service to those businesses.
